Why Choose Aqua Moving Services for Your Move to Singapore

Moving to Singapore involves international shipping, export procedures and Singapore import requirements. Household goods entering Singapore may be subject to GST and, depending on the goods being imported, additional customs requirements. Certain items are also subject to restrictions or require approval before they can be imported.

Aqua Moving Services works with experienced destination agents in Singapore to ensure your shipment is correctly documented, prepared for customs clearance and delivered to your new home with minimal disruption.

You receive one pre-move survey, three like-for-like quotes from vetted Singapore-route removal partners and one dedicated manager throughout your move. This gives you a clear view of your options and costs before your move begins.

FAQs

How long does shipping to Singapore take?

Sea freight is generally the most cost-effective option for larger household shipments from the UK to Singapore. Transit times vary depending on the port, shipping schedule, customs clearance and final delivery arrangements. Air freight is significantly faster and may be suitable for smaller or time-sensitive shipments, although it is generally more expensive.

Do I need a visa before my belongings arrive in Singapore?

Your immigration status and circumstances can affect the import of your household belongings and whether any reliefs or exemptions may apply. It is important that the appropriate documentation is prepared before your shipment arrives. Aqua Moving Services can help coordinate the shipping and customs documentation required for your move.

How much does moving to Singapore cost?

The cost of moving to Singapore depends on the volume of belongings being shipped, your collection and delivery locations, the shipping method, your preferred timescale and any specialist packing or handling requirements.

Aqua Moving Services arranges three like-for-like quotations following a single pre-move survey, giving you a clear comparison of your available options.

Will I have to pay GST or customs charges when moving to Singapore?

Singapore applies GST to imported goods, although certain reliefs may be available for qualifying used personal and household effects belonging to people relocating to Singapore. Eligibility depends on your individual circumstances and the goods being imported.

Some goods may also be subject to customs duties or additional import requirements. Your dedicated move manager can help you understand the documentation required and coordinate with the destination agent handling your customs clearance.

Can I ship everything I own to Singapore?

Not necessarily. Singapore has restrictions and requirements relating to certain goods, including controlled or prohibited items. Some products may require approval or a permit before they can be imported.

We recommend identifying any potentially restricted items before your belongings are packed so that the appropriate requirements can be checked in advance.

    Very Impressed With Their Attention To Detail

    The packing team arrived on time, were efficient, tidy and unobtrusive and they worked very well together. The crew were superb and I was very impressed with their attention to detail and the quality of the packing, particularly for some items, which were of very sentimental value to us. In addition the Aqua team have been great from step one and I will certainly use them again when I move back to Singapore.
